Last night at 11. I hope you were listening. If not catch the rebroadcast(Sunday night at 8) of NEXT with Chris Bro-- NEXT is 107.1 The Peak's new music show brought to you by Snapple.

Due to a very silly, I dare say stupid rule/law I can not list my playlist in order. Any questions please just email me.

WEEK 44
Keller Williams with Michael Franti – Ninja of Love (Dream)
Williams' objective to create an album that he "would be proud to crank in [his] pimped-out golf cart when [he is] 80." Dream was all about recording with his Dream Team which includes Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. Michael Franti of Spearhead. How about Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten or the String Cheese Incident? Check. Check. and Check.
Sorry I could only find an acoustic live version without Franti.


Bloc Party – Hunting for Witches (A Weekend In The City)
True there are no “Banquet” moments on this cd but it still burns. They are currently touring Europe and doing quite well on the charts even here in the States. Number 2 in the UK, Ireland, Japan and Australia. Number 12 here.


Or if you'd rather a slide show with the studio recording.


The Broken West – Down In The Valley (I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On)
The Kinks, Big Star, and The Byrds are obvious touchstones…that should be enough for you to go out and buy this cd. Formed in 2004 and have release one other EP besides this there first full length.


Loney, Dear – hard Days 1.2.3.4 (Loney, Noir)
the first North American release from Swedish multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanangen. I’ve heard this cd described as a one night stand. uncomplicated and easy to fall for, with no real thought or attachment necessary.

Eleni Mandell – Miss Me (Miracle of Five)
No longer a female Tom Waits she is in full on Billie Holiday mode. Sly and Sexy. One of my favorite cds right now.

Cat Power - Wonderwall (Peel Sessions) Cover of Oasis


Lucinda Williams – Wrap My Head Around That (West)
Since Lucinda Williams' last studio release, 2004's World Without Tears, she's buried her mother, endured a nasty split with an ex-lover, and gotten engaged to a long-lost acquaintance she hadn't seen for 15 years. Perfect setting for an amazing album. A mellow affair but certainly amazing.

The Cat Empire – Lullaby (Two Shoes)
From an Aussie jazz trio in 1999 into a sextet of great party tunes. Don’t look for a guitar in the mix but you’ll find everything else including your booty shaken not stirred.

Xavier Rudd – The Letter (Food In The Belly)
Channel me some Ben Harper please. After being released in Australia and Canada in 2005 and 2006, respectively, Xavier Rudd's Food In The Belly finally comes out Stateside in 2007

Amy Winehouse – You Know I’m No Good (Back to Black)
Signed at 19 and now 23 and on a crash course like a female version of Pete Doherty,. Be Careful around her as she is never afraid to say or sing her mind.
